 4 new [" Life of Jesus " has appeared from
 
 ''Ten Great Religions" etc. The purpose of the book is to reproduce the times in which Jesus appeared, the characters which sur rounded him, and the opinions, beliefs and prejudices of the Jewish sects and people, After this Jesus himself comes before us as he may have appeared to the people of his own day. The author has endeavored to en- ter especially into the purpose and expecta- tIon or Jesus and his view of the Messiah and his kingdom. The method of treatment is peculiar. Beginning with the position of those around Jesus and the conception of him as being man though great prophet, and keeping this in view, the writer endeav- ors to see how far we are carried by the le- gitimate influence of the narrative. The name of the author and the reputation of his previous works will secure for this volume a place in many libraries. At the same time Life of Jesus" coming from this school of theological thought written by one of its ablest representatives, Is important and worthy of being studied for its own sake.
